Choose a station from the list below to retrieve current chill units from several different* chill models. Additional models will be added soon.
This project is being done in collaboration with Dr. Gina Fernandez in the NCSU Department of Horticulture, and the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service (NCARS).
* Model 2 accumulates 1 chill unit when temperature is between 0 and 7° C. Chilling inception occurs at the first incidence of -2.2° C.
